Intro:
G  C  G  C
 
Verse 1:
G                        C
I was walking, with your left hand in my back pocket,
G                                   C
and I stared at the sky, while you kissed me.
G                          C
and you were running away, away from everything.
G                       C
and I stayed behind, so you'd miss me.
D               Dsus4               C
And while these words will sound so sweet.
 
Chorus:
  G                          C
I could care less about you, care less about you,
G                    C
and I love the sound of you walking away.
           G                   C
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
   G                        C
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.            
   D      Dsus4  D   C             G
So hold me...... but only..... for today.
 
Break:
C G C
 
Verse 2:
G                          C
Despite my best ambition, I get into the worse situations
G                       C
but here I am, a crystal clean,
    G                        C
and on the nights so lonely, the words I say to you are phony, 
G                               C
because there's nothing left to say.
D                Dsus4       C
and though you say you can't live without me
D                Dsus4      C
and every single night you think about me.
 
Chorus:
  G                          C
I could care less about you, care less about you,
G                   C
and I love the sound of you walking away.
           G                   C
and I can, see clearer, and I'm getting closer
   G                        C
to finding out just who I am without you in the way.            
   D      Dsus4  D   C             G
So hold me...... but only..... for today.

All chords are played for one four beat measure each, the
D/Dsus4/D section is one four beat measure.  Listen to the
song to figure out the exact relationship between the
chord changes and lyrics.
 
The D section also sounds good Neil Young style:
D:xx0232,Dsus4:xx0233,D:xx0232,Dsus2:xx0230,Dadd9:xx0030
 
If your trying to play along with the Avett Brothers' YouTube
